KSP Only.

The biennial collision reconstruction re-certification exam will be held on December 19 at 5 locations across the state. In order to accommodate drive time, testing will begin at 10 AM at each testing site. This re-certification exam is only for Reconstructionists, not Collision Technicians. Reconstructionists are to report to the testing site with an issued computer with Trimble Reveal and Crash Math, a calculator, note-taking material, a three-button mouse, a power supply, and any formula books they wish to use.

Reconstructionists must register for their testing site on the academy website by December 12, 2023.

This course will arm you with the necessary skills to conduct a thorough traffic crash investigation and properly document your findings for courtroom presentation.

We will show you the proper procedures for measuring, scale diagramming and photographing in order to record physical evidence and essential facts available only at the crash scene. You will learn the fundamentals of mathematics, physics and engineering as they pertain to crash investigations and the proper mathematical equations to apply for the type of crash being investigated. Finally, you will learn to analyze the information to determine what happened before, during, and after the collision.

IPTM’s At-Scene Traffic Crash/Traffic Homicide Investigation will prepare you for a variety of advanced and specialty courses in traffic crash investigations.

Topics Include:

Physical evidence from the roadway

Physical evidence from the vehicle

Mathematical principles and equations

Skid marks and vehicle speeds

Nighttime photography

Measuring and scale diagramming (by hand and with Trimble Reveal)

Report writing

For many traffic crash reconstructionists, the topic of energy can be intimidating, mysterious or down right scary. Because of this, reconstructionists shy away from utilizing energy methods in their analysis. This course will help de-mystify the concept of energy and present energy-based methods and techniques to use in analyzing traffic crashes.

During the course, you will learn to view and analyze crashes from an energy point of view. We will explore energy methods beginning with the basics and progressing to more advanced concepts. We will discuss the often-misunderstood topics of Equivalent Barrier Speed (EBS) and delta-V and you will learn different ways to analyze collisions, such as damage momentum, where a traditional conservation of linear momentum may not be the most appropriate analysis.

We will also explore the topic of crush. We will examine the basis of the three familiar energy equations that use crush measurements. Outside projects will provide you with “hands-on” experience in examining and measuring crash vehicles and then calculating damage energy and speeds.

This course will help you become more comfortable in utilizing energy-based methods in your analysis as we examine the underlying science that computer-based “crash” programs rely upon. It is an excellent complement to other training courses that teach you how to use “crash” software.

You should have a firm understanding of the topics of traffic crash reconstruction and conservation of linear momentum as well as strong basic math skills.

Forensic Mapping using a total station is a method by which investigators document physical evidence of critical incidents, including fatal or criminal crashes. By completing this course, students will be prepared to operate an optical total station in the field to document critical incidents. After capturing the data, students will use Trimble Forensics Reveal to produce scale diagrams for presentation in court.
